Safety Precautions

Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions
described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct
operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and
equipment.
In the next few pages, the term "equipment" refers primarily to the camera and its power supply
accessories (see the System Map for power supply accessory details).
WARNINGS
Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources which could
damage your eyesight.
Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light
produced by the flash may damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away
from infants when using the flash.
Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or
batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around a child's
neck could result in asphyxiation.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described
in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal
inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by
your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch the flash portion of the camera if
it has been damaged. Similarly, never touch internal portions of the equipment that become exposed
as a result of damage. There is a risk of high-voltage electrical shock. Please take the first opportunity
to consult your camera distributor or a Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
